Yup, so most of the top seeds bounced out of the early tuneup tournaments for Wimbledon.

Welcome to grass court tennis ! ; )

Grirgor Dimitrov and Tommy Paul are both playing qualifying to get into Queens main draw. Both are ranked high enough to receive automatic entry, but they did not sign in. Strange situation ( source The Tennis Letter)

It's been a very good comeback week for Kei Nishikori in Puerto Rico, already in the SFs, after 20 months out and delaying his comeback so many times, not sure what to expect from Kei's comeback

What is happening in Scandinavia? We have a Norwegian, a Dane and now a Finn having good success in the ATP. I watched the match and Ruusuvuori was quite good in his take down of Sinner.

Andy Murray advances to his 2nd Challenger final in a row after defeating Borges 63 62 in Nottingham
9 consecutive wins, who will return to the Top 40 next week

 

[Moxie]

I can see by the scores that Francis Tiafoe just won Stuttgart. I can't believe TC didn't play that match. It was late in the 3rd, and they were still playing the speeches in the Women's match in Holland. And TC ALWAYS shows the match when an american is playing. And this was a final! Anyway, congratulations, Francis!

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Frances Tiafoe defeats Struff 4-6, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (8) to win Stuttgart.

 

[tossip]

Tiafoe is going to be a contender at Wimbledon and the US Open.

Andy Murray claims his second consecutive ATP Challenger title on grass and moves to world no 38, his best ranking in 5 years. He has a good chance to be seeded at Wimbledon if he wins a couple of matches at Queens tournament.
